"Is this what you think, that Steem is for children? Or that steemit is for children? Or that either should cater to children, at all?

I was not suggesting that Steemit was for Children...only that there are no real safeguards in place to prevent children from accessing the material on it.

"Or that it should be a place where you let your children unsupervised?'"

And how exactly would you propose to supervise children so that they cannot access such material, when virtually any tablet or phone can access the material nearly as well as with a computer? Clearly you do not have any kids, or you would not ask such a question, because you would already know that such supervision on all the different devices available to kids today is next to impossible.

It is no longer acceptable to allow sites to post as they will, forcing the onus on parents to protect their kids, any more so than it would be acceptable to sell a gun to a person with known mental problems, forcing parents to protect their kids and other loved ones from such people.

And while I fully support 1st and 2nd Amendment rights, Websites (and Gun Shops) should be forced to take these sort of things much more seriously, or else be shut down. They can no longer claim that it is their "right" to do as they please. As the great Ayn Rand said (paraphrased) "No right is valid if it infringes on the rights of others."

I Just hope that the Democrats never get into power again, or else we can all kiss our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights Good Bye, along with other things. Make no mistake about it, the Democrats will take away our guns and will censor free speech far more extensively than self-regulated restrictions (on the types of material we are talking about here) would ever be.
